How to embed Emacsy?
Hello everyone,
First, thank you so much for all your support! The response to Emacsy has been overwhelmingly positive. I have received a lot of questions about the implementation as people are trying to understand how Emacsy will work and whether it'll work for them. To answer these questions, I've written up a minimal Emacsy example program, so you can imagine what embedding Emacsy into your own program will look like.

Thank you for your time and support.
Best regards,
Shane

All right, the source for everything in this tutorial is available on github: http://github.com/secelis/minimal-emacsy-example

Zellyn, great idea. Reload the PDF, and you'll find links to the plaintext.
Good point, Dimiter. I'll look into it. That might be limited by Guile, which doesn't allow multiple instances of itself in the same thread unlike say Lua.

+Zellyn Hunter - It's already on github (well I found it there myself) - nothing in yet - but here it is -> https://github.com/secelis/emacsy

Looks good. I like the simple "C" interface, also that there are no callbacks (easier to integrate in certain other scripting languages).
There is one nitpick - maybe each emacsy_Xxx function should take a Context/State (to give you an exmaple - like the lua API). This might be even easier if you are deploying a DLL (plugin) using emacsy, and some other DLL is also using it, and now they'll end up sharing without being aware.
But this is low-priority, as it might stop you from doing the real work (Making it context aware would not be that hard I would imagine).

Could you put this on github somewhere? The recursively-structured PDF is great, but it would be nice to see everything in linear order, organized by file!
